In this edition, Jay Carney reveals that he actually has no idea what the Club for Growth has been doing over the past few years, pushing primaries against moderate Republicans-in-blue-states such as Arlen Specter and Lincoln Chafee. That is, trying to replace moderate Republicans with wingnuts in blue areas where wingnuts don't have much chance of winning.

Today's homework for Jay Carney is to have him look up "Pat Toomey," the wingnut who almost took down Arlen Specter (51-49), and "Stephen Laffey," who came pretty close to taking out Lincoln Chafee in 2006 and who caused Liddy Dole to waste lots of money.
